When I went through the Level Up program at Relateful.com and facilitated what was then called 'Focus or Birthday Circles', it was sometimes suggested that I as the facilitator could be the object of the meditation, instead of focusing on someone else. I never chose to do this and have no idea what that experience is like. But it got me curious recently... is it possible to have a person stand in as 'the current state of the world'? Could we have the focus be on this person as a way to get to know what it's like to be the state of the world and be with it?
